A full English usually includes sausages, back bacon, eggs, baked beans, tomatoes, mushrooms and toast or fried bread. Black pudding and hash browns are common additions. There is no fixed combination for every business: state what you serve on the menu.

The British breakfast products explained

Breakfast sausages are the sausages served with the meal. Keep the varieties distinct when ordering: breakfast, Cumberland and Irish sausages are separate items, each with its own specification.

Back bacon comes from the pork loin. It is a different cut from streaky bacon, the belly cut commonly known in the Netherlands as ontbijtspek. Baked beans are beans in tomato sauce. British guests will recognise these product names; brief Dutch explanations can help guests who are less familiar with them.

What makes a breakfast Irish?

A full Irish shares many ingredients with a full English. White pudding is a characteristic addition, often alongside black pudding. Bread and side dishes can also vary by region. Use the name that fits the dish you serve.

Plated breakfast or buffet?

For breakfast cooked to order, specify the portion of each ingredient. At a buffet, guests choose their own combination. Record how much of each product you prepare and what is left over. The hotel buffet guide explains how to turn expected demand into an order list.

Buying the specialist ingredients
